  • Post in thread: Best CTs?

    Just installed the emporia vue gen 3 a few days ago. Still messing with it but I’ve put in 12 of the CTS and then got 4 plugs to go with it so I can see individual usage of appliances. Lots of info to work with.
  • Post in thread: I'm brain fried.. mc4 connectors..8 gauge y branches?

    I think I've figured it out. 4s2p to combiner box. 2 Y branches per "4s2p"s. should only need 6 string combiner box.

  • Post in thread: Am I dreaming?

    No trolling here. I’ve already gotten 3 ecoworthy dual axis up with 8 200 watt panels a peice.. putting in 3 more and a solar carport so I’m PRETTY dead serious on this. I have heard of the warranty issues. Damn. Back to square one I guess on the research. Any other suggestions?
  • Post in thread: Ecoworthy Solar Hybrid 5k inverters....

    Ended up ordering 24 200w panels from ecoworthy to put on their dual solar tracker systems.. I also have a Generac 20k Whole home back up generator.. But my main question is if I should go ahead and get a 5k ecoworthy inverter for now.. then add another one when I add more panels in the near...
  • Post in thread: I can not figure out where this AC output wires goes from inverter… ARGH!

    I am trying to install the hybrid 5k inverter from ecoworthy. I have 2 inverters tha I want to do paralleled. Now, because it can’t power the entire house loads do I have to run the ac out put wire to a new sub panel box? I would like to just have it connected to main panel box and use solar...
  • Post in thread: I'm brain fried.. mc4 connectors..8 gauge y branches?

    3 Poles.. Pole 2 is 75 ft from inverter.. pole 1 and 3 are 20ft from pole 2. There are 8 200w ecoworthy panels on the dual axis tracker poles.. I can't seem to figure out how to get them down to the right wire sizes while utilizing the combiner boxes and solar branches.. MC4 connectors that...

    Gotcha! Thank you for the input! Not sure what else to look at inverter wise.. I'm open to all suggestions..

    Not to be a noob, but could you send a link or two so I can check out the bundles you are talking about? I'd appreciate it VERY much.

  • Post in thread: Solark 15k.. newbie.. fixing to order..

    Yes. You are exactly right. Our AC is too big. It is a 4 ton. Because of that we have to run a april air whole home humidifier.. Was looking into minisplits, but we have 4 bed rooms, and a 2 ton only comes with 2 heads.. They said our AC would cycle too much but thats not the case.. it...
  • Post in thread: Solark 15k.. newbie.. fixing to order..

    So many questions.. But alot of them were cleared up by finding the Solark 15k .. as I have a Generac 20Kw Wholewhole back up generator.. I hope this is a breeze.. BUT.. I do need help with the sizing.. I've done my best to use that Solark Panel Sizing tool but do not understand it.. So.. I am...

    Trying to figure out how this one is so cheap. Looking to get a solark 15k now.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234864215010?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nTAANYgASRK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=nU4FvfUSTLW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  • Post in thread: I can not figure out where this AC output wires goes from inverter… ARGH!

    To me, it looks like I run a wire from a 2 pole 63amp breaker in the main panel to the inverter (AC InPUT), and then a separate wire from AC output back to a separate 2pole 63amp breaker in the main panel box. Maybe I’m not looking at it right, but thats what it looks like. I just need to be...
  • Post in thread: Solark 15k.. newbie.. fixing to order..

    Tell me about it.. I am in a 1900 sqft house with spray foam insulation.. Still trying to figure out the kinks with the AC.. Reduce or eliminate powerbill.... Have back up generator..

    Would gas furnace have heat strip? Everything is gas to top it off. Argh. Emporia should be here by 11am. We’ll see!
  • Post in thread: I'm brain fried.. mc4 connectors..8 gauge y branches?

    Trying to stick with ecoworthy.. using their combiner boxes.. but they only offer 4 and 6 string.. just an odd number for what i'm trying to do.. but i suppose it would work if i only had 6 panels on each pole.. There is NO wiring right now.. just wires coming from panels.. I should be...
  • Post in thread: Am I dreaming?
